Chapter 463 - 458: Leaderboard Changes
After a bout of excitement among the lords of each realm, the Great Emperors finally took action.
Under the watchful eyes of all the lords, they slowly descended from the sky, forming a circle on the plain at the entrance to the planes.
"Let’s begin."
One of the Great Emperors whispered, and then all of them extended their hands, unleashing a vast power.
Then, with a thunderous crash, the ground shook, space split open a tremendous gap, gradually revealing a building enveloped by a defensive light barrier.
"This is... the cross-border transmission area from Guiyuan Realm!"
Lin You was in disbelief, never expecting that the preparation mentioned by the Great Emperors involved directly relocating an entire cross-border transmission area.
Even the bases of the realms and buildings from the war zones appeared simultaneously in various corners of the plain.
In an instant, they formed a massive war camp on this vast plain, capable of accommodating the lords from all realms.
The means of the Great Emperors are indeed formidable!
Making Lin You secretly aspire to such power.
While everyone was in shock.
A dazzling light surged skyward centered around the cross-border teleportation array, forming a grand defense array above, enveloping the entire war camp.
"Let’s go, let’s check out the base. Today we’ve accumulated a lot of merits; finally, we can exchange for some items."
As the dust settled, the lords from each realm moved at once, gathering at their respective realm bases.
Lin You was surprised to find that the range of the realm base had expanded significantly, with the exchange crystals now numbering three, located on three empty plots within the base.
It seems that the exchange crystals from the low-level and mid-level war zones have also been relocated and unified.
Soon.
They followed the crowd to the crystal marked for high-level exchanges and opened the exchange interface.
As before, the items inside remained unchanged.
Lin You took a deep breath and directly spent 1.5 billion magic energy and all his battle merits to exchange for 150 high-level Faith Treasure Pearls and two Plant Type Species Secret Treasures.
Originally, with his current status of second-class battle merits, he could exchange for Origin Crystals.
But at the current stage, the Power of Faith was clearly more important to him than the Origin.
Additionally, the exchange price for Origin Crystals is five times that of Faith Treasure Pearls; it costs 50 battle merits to exchange for one, which is quite expensive.
He can only consider this in the future when he has enough faith.
"I’ve exchanged my items, I need to go back to my territory for a while. What are your plans next?" After a while, Situ Jian also finished exchanging his items and asked aloud.
"I need to go back too." Ji Yunshuang spoke softly.
"Same here." Yan Lie followed immediately.
Each of them wore an irrepressible smile, indicating that their harvest was significant this time and would require some time to digest.
Lin You smiled and said, "In that case, let’s wrap it up for today. We can move together once more for the next big battle or any other important occasion."
"Alright."
"Then I’ll be off."
"See you."
And so.
After exchanging farewells, they quickly departed, heading towards the center of the camp and the cross-border teleportation array.
Lin You wandered around the new war camp, familiarizing himself with the environment, and similarly used the cross-border transmission to return.
Whoosh!
The light shone brightly, and he appeared within his territory.
Recovering from the weightless state, he immediately went to the World Tree and took out the recently exchanged Faith Treasure Pearls.
[Do you wish to use "Faith Treasure Pearl (High-level)"?]
"Use them all!"
Lin You responded in a deep voice.
The next moment.
All the pearls in his hand transformed into a stream of light and merged into the World Tree, while a vast energy poured into his body, rapidly enhancing his bodily functions.
"Incredible!"
Lin You gradually clenched his fists, feeling his power nearly doubled compared to when he had first advanced.
He had almost reached the level of a lord demon of the same rank.
Even his reaction and perception had greatly increased.
Opening the "Saint’s Path" task for a glance.
[Saint’s Path (Territory Task): Break through the shackles to become a Saint. Collect the following items to condense Divine Fragment.]
[Magic Energy (28.5 billion/5 billion)]
[Power of Faith (230,000/250,000)]
[Tier Nine Territory Essence (240/80)]
[Origin Space (1/1)]
[Rule Fragment (0/1)]
...
After working hard for this period, he was now only two thousand faith points and one rule fragment away from condensing a Divine Fragment.
The Power of Faith wasn’t a difficult task for him.
The only challenge was the Rule Fragment.
He had already inquired, and the Rule Fragment required him to rely on his own strength to independently defeat a Tier Ten Demon Leader to gain rule recognition and obtain it.
Exactly.
It had to be leader-level!
With the lowest F-level Tier Ten Demon Leader, its average attribute was sixty thousand.
Even if Cyan Rattan devoured the flesh of ten thousand corpses, triggering the Bloody Frenzy effect, its attribute barely reached over fifty thousand, and this effect was not permanent.
Lin You calculated that it lasted for around three minutes.
Then it would begin to slowly fade, returning to its original attributes.
If he couldn’t slay the Tier Ten demon within these three minutes, his only option was to flee, meaning that his preparations during this period would be futile.
Thus, he needed to accomplish three things.
The first was to collect the Power of Origin, expanding the Origin Space range to Tier Nine full value, significantly increasing its capacity.
The second was to continue collecting corpses to enhance Cyan Rattan’s burst limit.
The third was to increase the species experience to bolster their basic attributes as much as possible.
Once he accomplished these three tasks, he could then seek out a Tier Ten demon to kick off his plan.
With this in mind, Lin You closed the interface and took out the recently exchanged two Plant Type Species Secret Treasure boxes.
Previously, in the realm battlefield, he had slain many lord demons but hadn’t obtained a suitable secret treasure for his Dandelion species.
Thus, he decided to spend 20 battle merits to exchange for these two Plant Type Random Secret Treasures, hoping for some luck in obtaining something useful.
[Do you want to use "Species Secret Treasure (Plant Type)"?]
"Use."
As soon as the voice fell, the light orb in his hand radiated a dazzling glow, rapidly transforming.
Soon, two freshly minted species secret treasures appeared before his eyes.
[Species Secret Treasure: Desperate Gamble]
[Treasure Type: Skills]
[Secret Treasure Level: SSS-level]
[Treasure Effect: Grants the species the skill "Desperate Gamble." Upon activation, all attributes are converted to Constitution for 10 seconds, during which movement and attack are impossible, consuming all Power of Nature, usable by Plant Type species.]
...
[Species Secret Treasure: Double Growth]
[Treasure Type: Special]
[Secret Treasure Level: SSS-level]
[Treasure Effect: When using a skill, there is a 40% chance to repeat the casting, bonus effects cannot stack, usable by Plant Type.]
...
Hmm?
Looking at the two species secret treasures before him, Lin You paused, not expecting to open treasures he already possessed.
But what surprised him the most was the second "Double Growth" treasure.
Repeating skill casting—could Dandelion deploy twice in one go?
If this is the case, then the spreading ability of his Dandelion army would surely be greatly enhanced.
Moreover, it only mentioned that bonus effects do not stack, without saying the quantity won’t stack.
With excitement, Lin You immediately took the secret treasure to the Species Base, placing it on the platform representing the Dandelion species.
Then he had Soul-Seeking try a few times, indeed able to deploy two batches of Dandelions at once, effectively doubling the quantity.
"Good stuff!"
Gazing at the sky full of Dandelions, Lin You was pleasantly surprised, quickly instructing Soul-Seeking to destroy the Dandelions.
Now, his main forces were all equipped with suitable secret treasures, leaving only a few species with relatively fewer numbers.
This journey really yielded significant enhancements.
[Species "Devouring Spirit Flower: Heaven-Devouring" experience has reached maximum value, would you like to upgrade?]
Suddenly, a prompt interrupted his thoughts.
"Maxed out experience?"
Lin You paused in action, displaying a look of surprise.
Quickly opening Heaven-Devouring’s attribute interface to check.
[Name: Devouring Spirit Flower: Heaven-Devouring (Royal Family)]
[Race: Plant (Hero)]
[Level: Tier Nine (10000/10000)]
[Power: 4750 (+4750)]
[Constitution: 5000 (+5000)]
[Agility: 4500 (+4500)]
[Spirit: 4850 (+4850)]
[Skills: Guardian Barrier, Death Devouring, Deprive, Corpse Explosion]
[King of Flowers: Cannibal Flower Species gain 10% Bloodsucker.]
[Introduction: A terrifying plant awakened with Devouring Power, capable of devouring all things and depriving them of all Energy.]
Indeed.
The experience has accumulated to 10,000.
It seems that due to the frequent recent battles, it devoured many corpses, quickly maxing out the experience.
With maxed experience, Heaven-Devouring’s attributes have significantly improved.
"Upgrade."
Lin You did not hesitate, attempting to choose to upgrade.
[Upgrade failed, lacking the required items for upgrade: Tier Nine Territory Essence x1000, Rule Fragment x1]
Rule Fragment?
Upon hearing the prompt in his mind, Lin You became puzzled.
He knew that upgrading from tier nine to tier ten required 1,000 pieces of Territory Essence, but didn’t expect it to also need a Rule Fragment.
No wonder even those veteran lord-level figures did not have tier ten species.
This upgrade difficulty is simply outrageous.
Could there be something different about species post-tier ten?
A heap of questions surged in Lin You’s heart.
Looks like he needs to find an opportunity to ask around.
Thinking so, he did not waste any more time.
With a flash of light, he disappeared from sight, taking the Cross-border Teleportation Array to the War Camp.
Before setting out to explore the surroundings, he took a moment to look at the recently relocated Kill Leaderboard.
Currently, around the stone tablet of the leaderboard, many lords from various realms had gathered, checking the leaderboard at various levels, with frequent exclamations echoing.
Peering through the crowd, Lin You quickly spotted the tier nine leaderboard.
[Battlefield Kill Leaderboard]
Rank Name Realm Power Kills
1. Angus [Primordial Venerable Realm] 40024 359
2. Hidden [Beast God Realm] 37748 244
3. Adam [Holy Light Realm] 37712 237
4. Gongsun Ru [Void Realm] 37699 235
...
8. Lin You [Primordial Realm] 29001 222
...
So many kills only rank eighth?
Lin You looked at the leaderboard in immense surprise.
He noticed that after recent changes, the veteran lords from various realms had begun to exert their strength.
Except for Angus, the original list of individuals had been squeezed out, replaced by a new set, and their power had all reached over 37,000!
